That offensive explosion was fun to watch. Gallagher really shit the bed with that senseless head shot, and yes he needs to pick up the tab for his teammates some night in exchange for bailing him out.
-
That's the level of effort coming off of back to back blowout losses?! Sad.
-
Thank God Barron is gone and Wifi is back. Barron has been terrible, and we've been too soft around our net and in general since Wifi left.

What change do you propose ... rush Xhekaj and/or Mailloux up to try to benefit the Habs in the short term rather than benefiting the team and players in the long-term?
Wifi is NHL ready given the right partner, just needs to be mindful of penalties. We desperately need his strength in and around our net, as opponents are camping out there without consequence and scoring easily and often. Mailloux, no...he needs the seasoning in Laval, but I'd sure as hell give Kovacevic a shot again based on how absolutely useless both Barron and Harris look lately.

They deserve to have an even dozen hung on them tonight.

I'm losing faith in coach/GM over the sad state of our blueline; their refusal to make lineup changes is an exercise in stubborn stupidity at this point.

Hmmm...not Harris's finest moment - LOL
He and Barron have both looked weak for a long time now....why they continually play while Kovacevic languishes in the pressbox and Wifi is left in Laval is beyond me.

I've seen enough of Barron....he has been stinking it up for weeks now. Soft...constantly getting pushed around, losing puck battles, and messing up clearing chances. He needs a one way ticket to Laval, and he can take Armia with him. Recall Wifi immediately.

Attaboy Slaf....another strong game, a scrap, and the shootout winner.

Sabres taking liberties out there...I want The Sherrif back in the lineup

So happy for Josh Anderson; hopefully now he can relax and score at something resembling a regular clip for him. Slaf looked good tonight...offered up a glimpse into what he might become once fully developed.

Monty has made some beauty saves, and Newhook is having himself a game!
-
Gallagher back to looking like a total bum tonight: -2, and cost us a point with the idiotic double minor late in the game. He should watch the Boston game from the pressbox.

Occasionally the opposing goalie also has something to do with the lack of scoring.
There were some great saves made, but there were also too many high/wide shots on great chances that let Markstrom off the hook.

Agreed...he makes big mistakes far too often.

Sigh...the lack of shooters who can finish on any regular basis bites us again.
-
Total no-show by the team...the bums deserve to be bag skated at 7am tomorrow morning.
-
They went on the road and played the best team in the league, a team with size and skill that would have given them fits the last two seasons....and they outplayed them for large stretches of the game and came out of it with a point. That's a solid result.

Yeah, we're in tough. But like they say - that's why they play the games. 🤷♂️
Exactly. The purely logical part of my brain is saying that the Devils will win handily, but after watching New England beat Buffalo this past Sunday I am reminded that outcomes don't always make sense.
-
First time I've seen Gallagher earn his game pay in a loooooong time.
-
I can't watch any more of this garbage. Minny owns us the way Aaron Rodgers owns the Bears.

It seemed to me that the Gally line started the game strong and then gradually lost its way (maybe because the opposition coach made an adjustment targeting that line? I dunno). By the third Gallagher was flailing around out there, coughing up the puck and losing battles like I've never seen from him before. Embarrassing. I want to say "that can't go on," but I don't know what the Habs can do about it other than paying him $6 mil to eat hot dogs.
I was of the 'give him 10 games to maybe prove he's turned it around some, then pressbox him if he still stinks' mentality. But after watching him for two games, I don't think we can afford to give him that long with him being as useless as he is now. If he shows nothing in the next 3, then let him sit and eat hot dogs.

Another soft one by Allen. This game shouldn't be as close as it is.
He's been an absolute bum.

I don't put much stock in preseason games, but...it sure feels like the same old "horrid powerplay, lack of finish" story.

The break from Harris wasn't nearly long enough. He still stinks.
